Halloween 2011

We went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. The kids weren't feeling well so they asked to go home early. This allowed us to go home and hand out candy.
Halloween in Celebration is quite different than any other Halloween we have experienced. Homes have amazing decorations here. One home is turned into a pirate ship and another one is a skeleton jail complete with human prisoners and a chainlink fence. Our neighborhood turns into a tourist trap with freebies.
We saw some other neat things - one family dressed up as chimps and lowered a basket with candy from their balcony. Another family dropped a fake spider from their porch roof on children as they approached their doorway
We ran out of candy to hand out in 15 minutes. One thing annoyed me through it all - adults and older teenagers trick-or-treated. One couple brought their sleeping four month old through the neighborhood and said that the baby wanted candy. Huh?!! Sorry, we don't have formula for your cutie pie. I wanted to suggest they go to Walgreens the day after Halloween for the discounted bags. Oh well, they got a free candy bar from us.
Our kids were Mario Luigi and Princess this year.







The boys loved their big bellies and mustaches. Lane adored her tiara and white gloves. She told everyone that she was a Princess. Yes, Lane, you truly are our Princess
